Abstract

A user mobile device includes a network interface, an input/output (“I/O”) device configured to exchange data with a user, the I/O device including a display device configured to present a graphical user interface to the user, an imaging device configured to generate image data; and a processing circuit. The processing circuit comprising a memory and a processor. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receiver user photograph data including multiple photographs of the user, determine an emotive state of the user in each of the photographs, categorize each photograph into at least a user positive emotion category and a user negative emotion category, receive spending behavior data, generate a user spending alert based on the spending behavior data including a photograph from at least one of the user positive emotion category and the user negative emotion category, and present the spending alert to the user.

Claims (49)

1. A user computing device, comprising:

a network interface configured to communicate data over a network with a financial institution computing system associated with a financial institution;

an input/output (“I/O”) device configured to exchange data with a user, the I/O device including a display device configured to present a graphical user interface to the user;

an imaging device configured to generate image data; and

a processing circuit comprising a memory and a processor, the memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive user photograph data including a set of user photographs;

determine an emotive state of the user in each of the photographs in the set of user photographs;

receive user transaction data from the financial institution computing system, the user transaction data descriptive of a set of user transactions that occurred at a plurality of times;

categorize each of the photographs based on the determined emotive states of the user, each of the photographs categorized into at least one of a user positive emotion category and a user negative emotion category;

correlate the set of user transactions with the user photograph data to associate photographs in the set of user photographs to transactions in the set of user transactions;

categorize a transaction in the set of user transactions as a negative transaction if the transaction is associated with a photograph in the set of user photographs categorized within the user negative emotion category;

categorize a transaction in the set of user transactions as a positive transaction if the transaction was associated with a photograph in the set of user photographs categorized within the user positive emotion category;

receive, by at least one of the network interface, the I/O device, and the imaging device, spending behavior data indicative of a spending behavior of the user;

generate a user spending alert based on the received spending behavior data, wherein the user spending alert includes a photograph from the set of user photographs categorized within at least one of the user positive emotion category and the user negative emotion category; and

present, via the display device, the user spending alert to the user.

2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

receive, via the I/O device, an input from the user to access the user photograph data.

3. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of user transactions in the set of user transactions are correlated with the user photograph data, associated with a plurality of photographs in the set of user photographs, and categorized as positive or negative transactions.

4. The computing device of claim 3 , wherein the received spending behavior data comprises user transaction data received via the network interface from the financial institution computing system, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine that the user transaction data includes at least one characteristic shared with a previous user transaction identified as at least one of a positive transaction and a negative transaction.

5. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the user spending alert is generated in response to the user transaction data including at least one characteristic shared with a previous user transaction identified as at least one of a positive transaction and a negative transaction, and wherein the user spending alert includes a photograph from the set of user photographs categorized within at least one of the user positive emotion category and the user negative emotion category.

6. The computing device of claim 3 , wherein the spending behavior data further comprises user biometric data, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine that the user biometric data includes at least one characteristic shared with a previous user transaction identified as at least one of a positive transaction and a negative transaction, wherein the user spending alert is generated in response to the user biometric data including at least one characteristic shared with a previous user transaction identified as at least one of a positive transaction and a negative transaction, and wherein the user spending alert includes a photograph from the set of user photographs categorized within at least one of the user positive emotion category and the user negative emotion category.

7. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

identify a family member of the user in at least one of the photographs from the set of user photographs categorized in the user positive emotion category; and

identify the family member of the user in at least one of the photographs from the set of user photographs categorized in the user negative emotion category;

wherein the user spending alert includes a photograph with the family member of the user from the set of user photographs categorized within at least one of the user positive emotion category and the user negative emotion category, wherein the user spending alert includes an offer for a product of the financial institution, and wherein the product is related to the family member of the user.

8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by a mobile device associated with a user, user photograph data including a set of user photographs;

determining, by the mobile device, an emotive state of the user in each of the photographs in the set of user photographs;

receiving, by the mobile device, user transaction data from a financial institution computing system, the user transaction data descriptive of a set of user transactions that occurred at a plurality of times;

categorizing, by the mobile device, each of the photographs based on the determined emotive states of the user, each of the photographs categorized into at least one of a user positive emotion category and a user negative emotion category;

correlating, by the mobile device, the set of user transactions with the user photograph data to associate photographs in the set of user photographs to transactions in the set of user transactions;

categorizing, by the mobile device, a transaction in the set of user transactions as a negative transaction if the transaction is associated with a photograph in the set of user photographs categorized within the user negative emotion category;

categorizing, by the mobile device, a transaction in the set of user transactions as a positive transaction if the transaction is associated with a photograph in the set of user photographs categorized within the user positive emotion category;

receiving, by the mobile device, spending behavior data indicative of spending behavior of the user from a financial institution computing system associated with a financial institution;

generating, by the mobile device, a user spending alert based on the received spending behavior data, wherein the user spending alert includes a photograph from the set of user photographs categorized within at least one of the user positive emotion category and the user negative emotion category; and

presenting, via a display device of the mobile device, the user spending alert to the user.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving, by the mobile device, an input from the user to access the user photograph data.
